"My mother gave me this recipe, which an old friend shared with her.
There's no comparison between this recipe and the instant pudding
mixes from the grocery store!" --Esther Matteson

In a medium saucepan, combine the flour and brown sugar; stir in
milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly; cook
and stir 1 minute more. Remove from the heat. Gradually stir about
1 cup hot mixture into egg yolks. Return all to the saucepan. Bring
to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat;
stir in butter and vanilla. Cool to room temperature, stirring
occasionally. Fold in the whipped cream. Layer 1/3rd of the pudding
in a 2 qt glass bowl; top with half of the bananas. Repeat layers.
Top with remaining pudding. Sprinkle with nuts if desired. Cover and
chill at least 1 hour before serving.
